Corrections

January 16, 2003

* An article in Wednesday's front section incorrectly characterized Newport News Circuit Judge Verbena Askew as refusing to comment when asked whether she had ever violated Virginia's crimes-against-nature law. The Daily Press posed several questions to Askew for that story, but Askew declined to comment at all on any of the issues, citing the state's Canons of Judicial Conduct. The canons forbid judges from talking to the media about specific cases and from publicly campaigning for a judicial appointment or renomination.
